Form 5500 information is as filed by the plan administrator with the Department of Labor and may be amended. Figures reflect the plan year shown, not current balances. Form 5500 contains no individual account balances. Look up the original filing at EFAST2.
Greatland Corporation of Grand Rapids, Michigan sponsors Greatland Corporation 401(k) Plan, a 401(k) plan. Its Form 5500 for the plan year ending 30 Sep 2025 shows 164 participants (127 active) and $112M in net assets.
Net assets came to $682,103 per participant, well above the $60,185 median for defined contribution plans with 100 to 249 participants and well above the $67,311 median for defined contribution plans in information. The figure is an average across everyone in the plan, including former employees with small balances; Form 5500 holds no individual account data.
Schedule C lists 2 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $99K: $605 per participant, well above the same-size median of $194. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $99K. Schedule C does not capture every cost: fees netted from fund returns and fees the employer pays directly are outside it.
Across the filings on record, net assets went from $6.1M in 2009 to $112M in 2024 (up 1737%), and participants from 267 to 164 (down 39%).
The independent accountant's opinion on the financial statements was unmodified (unqualified), from an audit whose scope was limited under ERISA section 103(a)(3)(C) to exclude investment information certified by a bank or insurer.

Questions and answers
How big is Greatland Corporation 401(k) Plan?
164 participants at the end of the plan year ending 30 Sep 2025, of whom 127 were active employees, with net assets of $111,864,935. Among defined contribution plans that places it in the 100 to 249 participants band, which held 21,996 plans in plan year 2024.
What does Greatland Corporation contribute per participant?
This filing has no Schedule H financial statement, so employer contributions are not reported here.
What fees does the plan pay and how do they compare?
Schedule C reports $99,164 in compensation to service provider organisations, $605 per participant or 0.09% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $194 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $99,164. Investment costs deducted inside mutual funds and other pooled vehicles are not itemised on Form 5500, so these figures are a floor rather than a full cost.
Who runs the plan?
The sponsor is Greatland Corporation. Recordkeeping or administration: Principal Life Insurance Company. Investment advisory or management: Chesme Capital Management. Trustee or custodian: Principal Life Insurance Company. The financial statements were audited by Hungerford. Form 5500 also names the plan administrator's signer and other individuals; this site publishes organisations only.
Was the audit opinion unqualified?
The filing reports an unmodified (unqualified) opinion from a limited-scope audit, in which the accountant did not audit investment information certified by a bank or insurance company. Unmodified (formerly "unqualified") is the standard clean opinion.
How current is this, and does it show my balance?
This is the Form 5500 for the plan year 1 Oct 2024 to 30 Sep 2025, received by the Department of Labor on 17 Jun 2026. Filings are due seven months after the plan year ends, or nine and a half with an extension, so the public record always runs a year or more behind. It contains plan-level totals only: no individual balances, contributions or names of participants exist in the data.
